CraftyHope: Link-a-palooza

So, so true!

I've got a long list of chores and an even longer list of creative/business tasks. But, here I am. Don't worry, my timer's going.

I feel like I should talk about how I am/have been feeling the last few days. But talking about the weepies and my desire to just watch episode after episode of Buffy is pretty boring. Seeeeeeeee.
Instead, let me share some fun, informative, etc. links with you in a full-on

Jessica at How About Orange has once again discovered a cool website. This one is called PaperMatrix. I'm directing you to both sites because Jessica's has some really beautiful pictures of the array of things you can make from PaperMatrix's tutorials. Just go see!
Speaking of cool tutorials, Shel over at MiShel designs has a wonderful tutorial on how to make hoop earrings. Her pictures and directions are clear and easy-to-follow. Included in her post, are some different options for embellishing the hoops.
I keep saying that I'm going to include international shipping in my Etsy shop as soon as I get it figured out. Well, Tealwater Designs may have just made that easier with this post on 7 Simple Steps to Cheap and Easy International Shipping. Now to study up and actually take that plunge!
Problogger has another post on how to use your social media effectively. Actually. . .this one is more on how to manage it if you DON'T want followers. It's called H ow to Lose Followers and Alienate People.

It's a shame really.

I've added a couple new items in the shop this week if you're interested.

Hoot Owl Bracelet

Falling Leaves Necklace

And re-listed a necklace

Bright Daisy Necklace

Now it's back to that darn to-do list before the weekend starts. The Crafter's Devotional Group will be having the first blog hop (again, kinda) tomorrow. So make sure to check back in for that! Have a great weekend.

Beautiful necklaces!! I love the owl. :)

Thanks for the links! The guide to international shipping will be helpful, I think -- right now I'm scared of shipping to other countries.

Hello! I realize this is kind of off-topic however I needed to ask. Does operating a well-established website like yours require a massive amount work? I am completely new to blogging but I do write in my diary every day. I'd like to start a blog so I will be able to share my experience and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!

Anonymous- As far as operating a blog, it's not a massive amount of work so much as it does take some time. Using a platform like Blogger is rather user-friendly, but taking the time to get photos and gather information to share really is the key. I hope this helps, fell free to contact me via e-mail. My contact info can be found by clicking to my "About Me" link at the top right of the page.

Thanks for stopping by! It means so very much to me. I love to hear what you have to say.
